Lions tight end Dorin Dickerson has admitted that he opted to hide the third concussion of his career during the Sunday game against the Giants. He said after the game that he should have reported it but decided instead to play through it. He added that he probably would not remember the interview.

Dickerson dropped a pass in the fourth quarter and was called for holding on the next play - two critical mistakes in an overtime loss that destroyed his team's playoff hopes.

He could be punished by the league for failing to report the concussion symptoms.

Lions tight end Dorin Dickerson was diagnosed with a concussion following Sunday's loss to the Giants in Week 16, according to the Detroit Free Press. Dickerson had one catch for eight yards on three targets in a 23-20 overtime defeat.

The Lions will travel to Minnesota for a showdown against the Vikings in Week 17. His status remains uncertain for that game.
